Relevant Background: "Deepfakes (a portmanteau of "deep learning" and "fake"[1]) are synthetic media[2] in which a person in an existing image or video is replaced with someone else's likeness. While the act of faking content is not new, deepfakes leverage powerful techniques from machine learning and artificial intelligence to manipulate or generate visual and audio content with a high potential to deceive.[3] The main machine learning methods used to create deepfakes are based on deep learning and involve training generative neural network architectures, such as autoencoders[3] or generative adversarial networks (GANs)....Deepfakes have garnered widespread attention for their uses in celebrity pornographic videos, revenge porn, fake news, hoaxes, and financial fraud..This has elicited responses from both industry and government to detect and limit their use....In January 2018, a proprietary desktop application called FakeApp was launched.[27] This app allows users to easily create and share videos with their faces swapped with each other.[28] As of 2019, FakeApp has been superseded by open-source alternatives such as Faceswap and the command line-based DeepFaceLab....Larger companies are also starting to use deepfakes.[14] The mobile app giant Momo created the application Zao which allows users to superimpose their face on television and movie clips with a single picture.[14] The Japanese AI company DataGrid made a full body deepfake that can create a person from scratch.[31] They intend to use these for fashion and apparel....Audio deepfakes, and AI software capable of detecting deepfakes and cloning human voices after 5 seconds of listening time also exist....A mobile deepfake app, Impressions, was launched in March 2020. It was the first app for the creation of celebrity deepfake videos from mobile phones....In March 2018 the multidisciplinary artist Joseph Ayerle published the videoartwork Un'emozione per sempre 2.0 (English title: The Italian Game). The artist worked with Deepfake technology to create an AI actress, a synthetic version of 80s movie star Ornella Muti, traveling in time from 1978 to 2018. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology referred this artwork in the study "Creative Wisdom".[64] The artist used Ornella Muti's time travel to explore generational reflections, while also investigating questions about the role of provocation in the world of art.[65] For the technical realization Ayerle used scenes of photo model Kendall Jenner. The Artificial Intelligence replaced Jenner's face by an AI calculated face of Ornella Muti. As a result, the AI actress has the face of the Italian actress Ornella Muti and the body of Kendall Jenner.,..There has been speculation about deepfakes being used for creating digital actors for future films. Digitally constructed/altered humans have already been used in films before, and deepfakes could contribute new developments in the near future.[66] Deepfake technology has already been used to insert faces into existing films, such as the insertion of Harrison Ford's young face onto Han Solo's face in Solo: A Star Wars Story,[67] and techniques similar to those used by deepfakes were used for the acting of Princess Leia in Rogue One....Disney's deepfake generation model can produce AI-generated media at a 1024 x 1024 resolution, which is much greater and produces more realistic results than common models that produce media at a 256 x 256 resolution.[70] In addition, with this technology, Disney has the opportunity to revive dead actors and characters with a quick and simple face swap; Disney can now resurrect and revive characters for fans to enjoy...Deepfakes have begun to see use in popular social media platforms, notably through Zao, a Chinese deepfake app that allows users to substitute their own faces onto those of characters in scenes from films and television shows such as Romeo + Juliet and Game of Thrones.....Deepfake photographs can be used to create sockpuppets, non-existent persons, who are active both online and in traditional media....Audio deepfakes have been used as part of social engineering scams, fooling people into thinking they are receiving instructions from a trusted individual.[80] In 2019, a U.K.-based energy firm's CEO was scammed over the phone when he was ordered to transfer €220,000 into a Hungarian bank account by an individual who used audio deepfake technology to impersonate the voice of the firm's parent company's chief executive...Though fake photos have long been plentiful, faking motion pictures has been more difficult, and the presence of deepfakes increases the difficulty of classifying videos as genuine or not...Potential positive innovations have also emerged alongside the growing popularity and creation of deepfakes. For example, corporate training videos can be created using deepfaked avatars and their voices. An example of this is Synthesia, which uses deepfake technology with avatars to create personalized videos...Microsoft has developed an app called "Seeing AI" which uses artificial intelligence and deepfake technology to narrate the world around you to aid individuals who are blind and/or have low vision.[90] With deepfake technology, this app can narrate text in documents, scan products and barcodes, recognize people and their emotions, describe the location and setting around you, identify currency and bills, and communicate these features in different languages in a volume and tone that is adjusted to your surroundings..."

Windows Disk Partition Too l *** Q: How does one access disk partition tool using Administrative Tools under Control Panel? How does one check for different disk partitions?  A: As shown in the video **** Applications: Create disk partition for Windows , Memory Dump , Data Corruption , Data Back up & Recovery ***** Relevant Background: " Disk partitioning  or  disk slicing [1]  is the creation of one or more regions on  secondary storage , so that each region can be managed separately. [2]  These regions are called partitions. It is typically the first step of preparing a newly installed disk, before any  file system  is created. The disk stores the information about the partitions' locations and sizes in an area known as the  partition table  that the operating system reads before any other part of the disk. Each partition then appears to the operating system as a distinct "logical" disk that uses part of the actual disk.  Sy...
